I concur. I have been using various OVH services for over 15 years, and, in spite of some amateurism that sometimes betrays its family business roots, there service is top notch, because they show dedication to solving your problems.

Now I understand why I didn’t care closing my Facebook account years ago: it was for cross posting this sort of information.

Even if my Facebook feed is a sad desert, I hope I can be censored by the guy who rejects fact checkers

The eu doesn’t it to block the search engine from the internet. It only needs to block the google cash-flow from inside EU to Ireland and then it’s shareholders.

There is a french tech sector: Doctolib, BlaBlaCar, and a few other original ideas have opened new types of services and taken their hold over Europe. Yet, those services cannot be adapted to individualistic north America.

I don’t have a mobile phone. How is that supposed to work? Will owning a specific object and attached subscription to a private entity be mandated by law?

Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:

• if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
• how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
• how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
• how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
• how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?

I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.

Note that they present the issue only as a financial problem rather than an actual threat to the environment or people.

You wildly overestimate the danger nuclear waste represents.

First, transportation is done in small amounts at a time, completely encased in concrete and steel, and is of no risk of exploding: the only danger would be spillovers, which would call for expensive cleaning operations.

Next, storage. The whole waste produced by 60 years of nuclear waste in France amounts to only a few swimming pools of dangerous material. If this material was actually fully useless, we could ditch it in geological layers underground where it would become soon unreachable and dispersed, posing no discernable danger for the upcoming few billion years.

Furthermore, the only reason we don’t ditch this nuclear waste right now is that this material can still be useful for plenty of uses that are not yet economically viable, but could be in the long term, such as energy generation with low-yield reactors.

Too bad neither Israel nor the US are member of the ICC. That gives them far less leverage, even though they will likely put pressure on some weaker members of the ICC.
